Google today unveiled its latest artificial intelligence creation, Gemini1.5Pro, and made the experimental "version0801" available for early testing and feedback through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API.

The new model quickly topped the prestigious LMSYS Chatbot Arena leaderboard (built by Gradio), with an impressive ELO score of 1300. This achievement puts Gemini1.5Pro ahead of formidable competitors like OpenAI's GPT-4o (ELO: 1286) and Anthropic's Claude-3.5Sonnet (ELO: 1271).

Key figure at the Gemini team, Simon Tokumine, celebrated this release in a post on X.com, calling it "the strongest and smartest Gemini we've built." Early user feedback supports this claim, with a Redditor describing the model as "insanely good" and hoping its capabilities won't be diminished.
